Description
Woodland (mostly Scots Pine and Silver Birch) and dry heath (mostly heather and bracken) surround an acid mire of shallow peat. This combination of habitats supports numerous unusual species and is the largest of it's kind in the area, therefore it has been designated as a SSSI.
Erdei pacsirta, Erdei pityer and Keresztcsoru are all possible and on a summer night Lappantyú, Erdei szalonka and Macskabagoly are likely seen or heard. Both Nagy fakopáncs and Zöld küllo are present year round, as well as other forest species such as Szajkó. Kakukk and Barna rétihéja are both common in the summer. There is a notable population of breeding Bütykös ásólúd as well as a colony of partifecske.
